On Friday (April 3), the recently released animated adventure-comedy sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie topped the domestic box office chart and picked up a solid $48.3 million. It was followed by Ryan Gosling’s sci-fi film Project Hail Mary and the Zendaya and Robert Pattinson starrer movie The Drama. Pixar’s animated sci-fi comedy Hoppers took fourth place, collecting $2.1 million. However, Sony’s animated sports comedy GOAT, which has now entered its eighth week in theaters, slipped out of the highest ten but continued its run across 1,114 North American locations.
After earning $2.2 million in the course of the March 27-29 weekend, the film added one other $1.2 million from Monday to Friday. This brings its current domestic total to $102 million and its worldwide haul to $182.3 million. It’s now much behind Hoppers’ massive $508.8 million global earnings.
On the domestic box office, GOAT currently ranks because the fifth-highest-grossing release of 2026, in line with Box Office Mojo’s annual chart. After surpassing several past hits like Seven, The Equalizer, and Scream 2, the film is now closing in on the North American total of a Leonardo DiCaprio film that earned him an Oscar nomination – Martin Scorsese’s 2004 drama The Aviator. Here’s how close it’s to surpassing it on the domestic box office.
GOAT vs. The Aviator – Box Office Comparison
Here’s how Sony’s latest animated release compares to the 2004 Leonardo DiCaprio starrer, based on Box Office Mojo data:
GOAT – Box Office Summary
- North America: $102 million
- International: $80.3 million
- Worldwide: $182.3 million
The Aviator – Box Office Summary
- North America: $102.6 million
- International: $111.1 million
- Worldwide: $213.7 million
Based on the above figures, even though it is behind The Aviator’s global total by a major margin of $31.4 million, GOAT is currently trailing the Leonardo DiCaprio starrer by just around $0.6 million on the domestic box office. At its current pace, the animated film is more likely to close that domestic gap and potentially surpass the mark in the course of the April 3-5 weekend itself. That said, a clearer picture should emerge inside the following few days.
GOAT – Plot & Lead Solid
Directed by Tyree Dillihay, the animated sports comedy is ready in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals. The story centers on Will (voiced by Caleb McLaughlin), a young goat who dreams of becoming knowledgeable roarball player. But in a sport ruled by greater, faster, and more ferocious animals, Will faces a giant challenge. The film follows his underdog journey as he fights to prove that heart and determination can matter just as much as size and strength.
